Prayers for Maet's Father
— Ace

I referred vaguely to his "obligations" the other day because I didn't know if I should disclose the nature of them.

But his father is ill:

Oh I am. My father is gravely ill but it's looking like he may pull through.
I'm just here procrastinating from the other stuff I should be doing. :-)

So it looks better now. When people start procrastinating again, it's a good sign.

But send him a prayer if you've got some to spare.

18 I've been praying for Maet so I just re-attributed those rosaries to his dad too.  And of course will say double rosaries tonight for him.

Prayers Maet.

 

Still a bit sorry I made the snarky remark that preceded that. I just kinda assumed work had you busy and was mocking you for hanging around midday.

27

As long as we're at it, we should probably send up some prayers for  any Morons or   their family members who need them.

 

This is a unique   gathering. I'm certain   The Big Guy just looks at us and  shakes His head. 

Posted by: BackwardsBoy, who did not vote for this shit at August 07, 2013 03:24 PM (0HooB)

28 Done.

Can't hurt,  even if you be a Protestant!  :-)

44 Serious question, and no offense meant: How to atheists cope without prayer? I've never not been a believer, and for all my vices, one of my virtues is that I'm "constant in prayer." I offer prayers for Maet, his dad, all morons and 'ettes, and of course Ace.

Posted by: goddessoftheclassroom at August 07, 2013 03:34 PM (l2zi/)

45 God bless Maet, Maet's dad. God bless you and yours.

Prayers, Maet. I remember my own father, seriously ill, and in the hospital. Be strong.

Posted by: Sticky Wicket at August 07, 2013 03:41 PM (qoQi/)

48 Thank you for the prayers and thoughts everyone. This came on suddenly as these events are wont to do. He's been dealing with heart failure generally successfully for a few years now but took a sudden nose dive on Monday. We're hoping he can recover enough to get a Dick Cheney-type LVAD.

49 Thoughts and prayers. Been there more than once.

50 44 Serious question, and no offense meant: How to atheists cope without prayer? I've never not been a believer, and for all my vices, one of my virtues is that I'm "constant in prayer." Posted by: goddessoftheclassroom at August 07, 2013 07:34 PM (l2zi/) No offense taken. I dunno; I just manage somehow. Even though I attended church and Sunday school when I was a kid, I've been a skeptic as far back as I can remember. I've never been anti-religion, though. I think the in-your-face, militant atheists are jerks.

Posted by: rickl at August 07, 2013 03:53 PM (sdi6R)

51 But send him a prayer if you've got some to spare. ************** Done.

58 Guess what? EC Jr comes home from playing with his friends with a bandage on his arm. "What happened?!?!?!?" He and some friends were riding a gocart and his arm grazed the exhaust muffler and left a burn the size of a silver dollar. His friend was nice enough to swab it clean with antiseptic and dress it up before he came home. So, now I cleaned it up a second time and applied some of that silver burn ointment and changed the bandage again. And he's grounded. For life!
